COINCIDENCES

07/06/08.

Funny things coincidences are. Like Deja-vu, these moments seem to catch us off guard as if the very gears a gadgets that make life go have accidently revealed themselves to us in a blushing instant. Maybe it's because our brains are so intent and focused on a certain issue in our lives that we subconsciously bring anything relating to it to the foreground of our consciousness. Maybe our lives are predestined and it's a glitch in the system. Maybe, as a lady said to me once at Ben & Jerry's it's "god winking at you letting you know you're on the right track." It's when you break up with your significant other and all you hear are sad break up songs on the radio. It's when you've been putting off buying a soccer ball since you joined the league, only to win one at a raffle at an event you didn't even expect to go to. It's traveling halfway across the country stopping at a random Starbucks in Florida in a hurry because your about to piss your pants, only to realize that the bathroom is busy so you turn around annoyed and displeased and a good friend from college is sitting at the table in front of you having a cup of Joe miles and miles from where you think he should be. The world is full of mystery. I don't pretend to understand it. Don't think I was intended to. And I'm Completely fine with that. As long as it keeps me in wonder.
